He was being jocular. But you mistook it as inflamatory.
Brendan has quite the mind and an even greater mouth. :)
He also enjoys using sarcasm, irony and subtlety quite often.

Cheers mate!
(Waiting for Brendan to come out shrieking how he
was DAMNED SERIOUS and ban me from the island
of incompetent jesters. *Hiccup*)
